DriftwOOd.

Some weeks have elapsed since our last
communication to the FREE Press. Moth
ing happens these days to call forth any
notice, everything seems to be at u stand
still,
The cotton crop Is turning out very light,
and corn is scarce article here already.
Much dissatisfaction exists among the farm
ers here, many of them are preparing to
leave for some more favored region. We
think moving is bad policy, but still 1t
seems hard to stay in one locality for years
and reap no benefit from your labor. The
best thing the farmer can do who owns his
land is to "stick to it."
This drought will end "some day" and
the rain will come again and scatter plenty
over our smiling land. Perhaps, after oil.
this drought may prove blessing In dis
guise" to our state. It certainly has given
some important lessons in domestic econ
omy," and no doubt many will be profted
thereby. and it has taught us that we are
dependent upon higher power, which fact
I fear we sometimes lose sight of when
everything sabundant and prospects bright.
II is never so bad but what 1t might be
worse, SO let us not yield to dependency
end cease our efforts. God rules and reigns
and brighter day will dawn ere long and
wo will forget the hard times we ore having
now.
Prof. Bridges opened his school here on
Monday the 10th, with quite good attend
ance. The Dripping Springs schools have
been consolidated and are now under the
able management of Prof. Cook.
Mr.. Gordin Williams left Sunday nigh
for Boston, Mass. He will be very much
missed by his many friends here, as he wal
young gentleman of more than ordinary
culture and leader in the social circles
All wish him the greatest success in his fol
away home.
MIR. P. G.. Garrison, formerly of Sai
Marcos. is now permanently located will
us. He is valuable citizen and we warm
ly welcome him. Mrs. Garrison's health il
very much improved since coming to tn
hills Mr.. Montague Ainsworth. from Aus

Martindale,

EDITOR FREE Press Last week you re-
ceived request from the ladies of Martin
dale to give the people notice of our ice
cream supper, which was given last Friday
night. This week we desire 10 return
thanks for your kindness and give you the
result of our efforts. On Friday afternoon
when the dark, heavy clouds forbade the
penetration of single ray of sunshine, and
after time the thunder began to mutter
and the rain came pouring down, our hearts
failed, for we feared the most of our hard
work and trouble was for naught, but we
are glad to say notwithstanding the very
inclement weather we had q house pretty
well filed.
The Martindale string band gave us mu-
sic-and right here we would say, we defy
the state to produce finer looking and q
more generous lot of young men, and more
energetic and attractive young ladies that
Martiudale and her vicinity. All honor to
them for their generosity and help.
Two handsome cakes were sold by votes.
The first to the largest man, which was won
by Mr.. John Crook, who by the way is one
of our most industrious young farmers.
Mr., Frank Wright was his opponent, and
the race being so close, and he 80 popular
with the young ladies, they presented him
with cake as being next to the largest
man. The second cake was to the most
beautiful young lady in the house. Miss
May Martindale and Miss Ara Jenningt
were the competitors. Miss May won the
cake, but as in the other case, the race was
close, and Miss Ara quite popular, so the
young men presented her with cake as
being next to the prettiest young lady.
Mr.. viii Hooker was presented with a beau
tiful cake made expressly for him to show
their appreciation of valuable services rem
dered.
Mr.. Crooks cake brought Sl25O, Miss
May Martindals's S1765.
Altogether We made $IO9 20 clear Of all
expenses, which we consider a remarkable
suocess under the circumstances, and desire
20 return thanks 10 those who rendered help
and contributed in any way towards our
success. We were expecting quite q crowd
from your city. and should We attempt an
